Episode overview

For 40 years the science world was hoodwinked by a forged "missing link" between ape and man. But who was responsible for the infamous "Piltdown Man" hoax? Timewatch lines up the suspects, including the relic's "discoverer" Charles Dawson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and even staff at the Natural History Museum.
